I keep tossing back and forth the idea of hauling our little old
streamlined fiberglass clamshell trailer along on camping trips. I've
gotten the camping gear down to a manageable size, it never takes more
than a couple minutes to empty the rear of the van to make the bed.
Still, it would look cool to bring the trailer. Adds about 200 lbs, I
reckon.

What kind engine you got?
